TROUBLE AMONG THE KNIGHTS.
The Order Expelling Union Cigar Makers from
the Organization Will Not Be 0beyed.

The last General Assembly of Knights of
Labor, held at Richmond, Va, passed resolu-
ton expelling from the organization all mem
bers of the Cigar-makers' international Union
The order met with much opposition, but was
finally passed by a small majority. In &C
cordance with the order, the executive board of
the General Assembly sent out circulars to all
the branch assemblies of the country. instruct
ing them to enforce the order from Jan. !.
So much opposition to the movement has de-
veloped all over the country that the order has
not yet been enforced and is being discussed
by the local assemblies. It's discussion was
to have been the order of business
in Alpha Assembly, K. of L.. last
night. but its consideration was postponed on
account OF the necessity to take some action on
the SICK and death endowment fund, which has
run the assembly $500 in debt the past year.
| The expelling order was made the special order
| of business for next Tuesday evening. Several
| of the members of the assembly were seen last
| night, and expressed the opinion that the order
| would never be enforced. Said one Il talked
with Powderly before / left Richmond, and
| know he IS personally opposed to the movement
1t was passed IN haste, and the order of the ca
| ecutive committee will not be complied with un-
| less another national convention ratiies the
action OF the Richmond convention"
The members of the Cigarmakers' Union do
not believe the order will ever be carried out, for
the reason that it is unconstitutional. NJ G.
| Farnham. the corresponding secretary of the Ci-
| gar-makers' Unon, and also president of the
Central Labor Union, which is composed of del
| egates from all the labor organizations in the
city, including the Knights, expresses himself az
OF the opinion that the order is unconstitutional
and void. 'The ORDER" he said, Originated with
| L. B.. 1aguire member of the Knights execu-
| tive committee who led the war on the lnterna-
tionais at the Richmond convention last fall
In case the order was enforced.
he declined to say whether the cigar
makers would stand by their organization
in preference to the Knights The outside SEN
| timent among the ciga rmakers, however, seems
| to be in favor of standing by their own organza-
tion though it causes the severance of their con-
| nection with the Knights. The order has ere
| ated considerable excitement in labor circles,
and among tradeunionists generally it is
| looked upon as the initial step toward a general
warfare between the knights of Labor and al
other labor organizations They argue that il
carried out against the cigar makers. there is ne
reason why a similar order will not soon b.
passed expelling printers, molders, and, in fact
all members of other organizations from thu
order.

In 1864 Alfred j. Rocker purchased family
burial lot in Greenawn Cemetery. Since then
he has buried his wife and children there, occu-
plying all the lot but space enough for one grave,
which he had reserved for himself. He COM
plains that in 1881 George Grinsteiner, the un-
dertaker, without permit from him, trespassed
on his lot, and buried person in the space he
had reserved for himself. In consequence. he
has no place in which ne can be buried, and by

No Danger of Panic.

There has been some apprehension Of
a stringency in money matters in the
East, and of course anything which af-
fects money In the East will affect bus
mess in the West. Controller Tren-
holm of the Treasury Department has
no fear Of panic, however, and as
quoted by the InterOcean, gives good
and substantial reasons for his faith.
In the first place, there is a good
deal Of money in the country just now;
in the second place, the price Of grain
is such as toinsure large export trade,
and thus bring more money to it; in the
third place, the prices of all articles Of
manufacture are low enough to meet
the purchasing power of the country:
in the fourth place, the recent specula-
tive failures in wheat and coffee and,
though as yet in not so visable a de-
gree, in land in artificial trade centers,
have been serious enough to act as a
warning against further rash ventures,
and not serious enough to result in a
panic.
A movement of capital in the direc-
ton Of permanent enterprises, such as
development of iron and coal mines,
factories, and foundries and the con-
struction of Southern railways does not
seem improbable. If Congress could
be depended upon for judiclous appro-
priations in favor of reconstruction of
our mercantile navy and proper increase
of the war navy, proper defense of the
lake and seacoasts, and judicious ex-
tension of internal waterways there
would be reasonable certainty of
season of extraordinary prosperity.
Lacking this there is yet good ground
of belief in year of fairly active trade,
always providing that the tariff tinkers
do not breed confusion and dlstrust.
Enlarged markets in Canadian and
South American countries are things
to be desired, but this country would
not derive full benefit from them if the
present neglect of our marine carrying
trade were made permanent We have
increased our manufactures and devel-
oped our industries during the past
twenty years as no other nation has
done, but IN our ocean carrying trade
We have steadily receded.

GOLDEN KANSAS.

In spirit Of exultation and joy the
Wichita Journal says that ''it may now
be confidently asserted that 1887 will
be known as one of the most, if not the
most, prosperous years Kansas has ev-
er experienced. From the very first
prosperity has seemed to smile more
sweetly than usual upon this Eden spot
of God most favoured country.
The general business of the state has
for the last six months been in a very
healthy condition. No casualty or
storm has visited us, and the numer-
Gus gas and coal finds have added much
to the welfare of Kansas. And now,
just as it was most needed, q delightful
rain has come to give added life and joy
and beauty to nature. The worth of
the recent showers to Kansas cannot
be computed in mere dollars and cents.
From all parts Of the state the cry was
coming, 1--WE must have rain" and

ROARK's ADVENTURES.
A ssFOrmerly from Kansas" Man
i'm the New York Pen
itentiary.

In yesterdays dispatches was the
statement that Michael Roark was tried
at Utica, New York, for an express
robbery and sent to Auburn peniten-
tiary for twenty years. This chap is
formerly from Kansas. Fifteen years
ago he was in some way connected with
the building of the Santa Fe, and had
either contract or was foreman for
the contractor. He then became buff
falo hunter and had his headquarters
around Dodge, and was the head of the
gang that attempted the robbery of the
train on the Santa Fe in 1873, and was
captured shortly after in company with
Dement, who was killed in attempting to
escape. Roark was tried for this train
robbery and sent to the penitentiary at
Leavenworth for ten years. A. ID.
Case was his attorney and he took the
case to the supreme court, got it re-
versed and when it came time for
new trial, Dave Rudebaugh, the wit
ness who had turned states evidence
against him, had become a worse out
law than Roark and could not be had.
Roark was discharged, but was imme-
diately re-arrested for participating in
train robbery at Winthrop, opposite
Atchison, and was taken there, tried
and sentenced to two years in the Mis-
souri, penitentiary which he served.
We understand that Hon. j. G. Wa
tiers, of this city, prosecuted him in
both cases. and it is little out of the
run of ordinary events for one lawyer
to send one man to two different peni-
tentiaries for two distinct train robber-
les. Roark then went up to Onoga, in
Pottowallowic county, and there bucked
the prohibitory lbw, and graduating
there, after paying his fine, he then
blossomed out into a stock dealer, and
after having bought $4,000 worth of
cattle at figures far above Kansas City
prices, he fled just as he had got his
money at the stock yards in Kansas
City, and while the owners were there
waiting for him to come back with the
money. He is now in safe hands for
time and we may take one long breath.
He is fine looking man, six feet high,
with voice like woman, and is as
mild hammered man as ever cut a
throat or scuttled ship. The moral
of all this is, that in all Roarks enter
prises of pith and moment they have
never paid him in money, pleasure or
satisfaction single sent on the dollar
on the capital employed or the energy
wasted in their accomplishments To

Wave Theory and Crime.
TEL PasO Inter-Republics. I

LEI Paso Inter Republics.l
Recent train robberies in this state
have furnished pretty good text for
believers in the wave theory as applied
to crime, particularly as the depreda-
tons appear to have been committed
by entirely different people. These
things used to be explained by coinci-
dence but it is very apparent to people
who read the newspapers nowadays
that when odd or peculiar species of
crime are committed, there is almost
an epidemic Of similar offenses. It is
not exactly clear to savants whether
this is due to force Of example or Gu
rious Intervening of mind on mind,
but one thing is plain, that the wave
theory will not apply to good as well as
evil. For example, the man who feels
an impulse to beat his wife because he
has read of some one else beating
theirs, seldom or never buys her new
bonnet because his neighbor has made
a similar investment. The bonnet
waves needs home encouragement be-
fore it waves very violently. And so
it is. The virtues are individual, but
let somebody wreck train, rob bank,
burn down an asylum, or cut their
throat, and lot of people Immediately
become so fascinated with the idea
that they rush off and do likewise.

A HUMAN RATTLE SNAKE.
The Dangerous Bite of . Blue
Gummed Negro.

A species of what may be termed a
human rattlesnake is creating consider
able interest in Mobile, Ala, and an
incident Of two days ago tends to awak-
en- an investigation of scientific import
ance. Officer W. j. Yorke, while ar
resting negro Tuesday, was bitten in
the hand by the negro and since that
time the hand has become greatly in
famed and swollen. In February last
Officer John King, one of the best men
on the police force, was bitten in sim
liar manner by negro whom he had
under arrest In two days Kings hand
swelled, and then the Inflammation at
tackled his arms and legs, and for two
weeks his life was in danger. Since
then he has been slowly recovering, but
is not yet able to put his foot to the
ground. The negroes and some whites
declare that the negro had blue gums,
and that only those with blue gums
have poisonous bites. This belief is
generally held, and the colored people
have, it seems, an apphorism: "Don't
fight with blue-gummed coon.'
Much interest has been taken in
Kings case, and as soon as Yorke was
bitten an examination of the negro was
made, and it was discovered that his
gums are of a bright blue color. In both
cases of biting the negroes were very
deeply enraged.

Effect of Hot Weather on Rails.

From the Iron-Monger.l
So intent was the heat on Monday
last that some of the rails on the Lon
don and Northwestern railway, between
Huyton and Prescott, became twisted,
and for time put an entire stop to
the whole of the traffic between Liver
pool and the stations going north.
The first train that was stopped was the
2:15 p. m. from Lime street for Car
Isle and Scotland, and before it could
proceed on its journey it had to be got
on to the up line, and be conveyed on
it to the next station, involving de-
lay of about twenty minutes. Sue
ceeding trains were similarly blocked.
The matter was put right by cutting off
between three and four inches of each
rail: one length of which only was
twisted, which occupied over an hour,
with the result that the trains for the
north were delayed at Huyton Junction
till $3.50 o'clock. The rails affected
run along an exposed portion of the
track known as the Bank. They are
tight-jointed for some distance, and
this allows for no expansion. Itis be-
lieved that the rails would have re-
manned in their position notwithstand-
ing the great expansion to which they
were subjected but for the fact that a
number Of men were working on the
lines, as usual, and they disturbed the
lines, which, once started, did not take
long to assume a remarkably unusual
form.

Why Kansas PrOspers.

From the Ottawa Republican.
Good news from all part of Kansas
is feature in the records of the pres
ent season. The crop reports just re-
ceived anly add to the evidence that
Kansas is wonderfully favored with
prodigious crops.
We say favored, but that only con-
veys limited idea Of the situation.
Kansas has been blessed with an ex-
ceedingly favorable season, but back OF
all that, the state is blessed with Wig
orous, thrifty, plucky and ambitious peo-
pie The seasons come good and bad,
but the people of this great state are
ready to face any kind of seasons.
When bad years come they meet the
situation reso!utely and without des-
pair. When good years come they are
always prepared to take advantage of
their opportunities and reap rich re-
wards.
A good climate and favorable sea-
sons are excellent things, but in the
long run pluck and ambition tell the
grandest story of progress. We feel
like complimenting the people of Kan
sas on their prodigious achievements.
They have not waited for the seasons,
and hence their efforts have been just
ly rewarded.
Men who are met with a crop failure
one year cannot reap thirty, forty and
even fifty bushels of grain per acre the
next unless they keep the pillow and
harrow moving.
There is another important factor in
Kansas, and that is her splendid sys-
tenn of transportation. The people
have not waited to build up large towns;
they have not waited for populous
counties before seeking an outlet for
their products. On the contrary, they
have invited the railroads to 60 with
them and have thus obtained the earll-
est possible benefits from their enter
prise and labor.
This is one OF the secrets Of the rap
id growth of the state. Other commu-
mites have waited for years to obtain
outlets for their crops, but the people
of Kansas have kept themselves In con-
slant communication with the outside
world. When wheat is wanted abroad
they are ready to send it. When the old
world is in need of meat Kansas can ship
it from almost any point.
A thrifty people with rich soil and
ever improving seasons, the farmers of
Kansas have taken advantage of all the
modern improvements. and by such
means have exacted tribute from all
the world for their wheat, corn, cattle
hogs, and the next few years will see
then sending out almost every product
necessary for the support and comfort
of humanity.

A newspaper man has discovered
that il is impossible FOR newspapers to
boom town unless the people do a lit
tie booming on their own account in the
newspapers. Newspapers can't work
for the city and board themselves, no
more than a man can lift himself over
the fence by his boot straps. There is
a principle involved in this matter and
We are not off when We say it is gener-
ally the business man who is unwilling
to invest a nickle in a boom that is
most liberal with his lip in blowing up
the newspapers for the lack of push
and drive in town.
